aakaash = SPACE.....THE FIRST OF pNch-mHaa-bhuut....pNch-mHaa-bhuut ARE ALL THAT MAKES EXISTENCE IN THE UNIVERSE....
Posted by Vishva News Reporter on August 1, 2003

In veD = SCIENCES OF CREATION AND LIFE.....aakaash (English equivalent SPACE) is the first of the 5 primary elements created of and by creator bRH`m....these 5 primary elements are called pNch-mHaa-bhuut (pNch = 5; mHaa = great; bhuut = an element.... all the creation is formed of these pNch-mHaa-bhuut....no creation can exist without all the pNch-mHaa-bhuut being present in it.....The pNch-mHaa-bhuut are :

  1. aakaash     =    space
  2. vaayu        =     air
  3. taejs          =     energy in the form of heat and light
  4. ap            =      water  and all liquids there of
  5. pruthvi      =      all material which can support living beings and loosely translated as earth type materials

The above is the basic and starting knowledge in the veD study to understand how creation occurs, how creation is sustained and how creation is continually re-created in a birth-death cycles called sNsaar and on a path defined as kaal = TIME.....please click on the next line to continue to read this presentation as a continual learning at PVAF from the library of SRii chmpklaal Daajibhaai misTRii .....the study of creation to empower YOU to understand YOURSELF by starting to understand  WHAT YOU ARE MADE OF.....and WHERE DO YOU LIVE as per the latest discovery of 7 sextillion stars in the universe which mankind thinks exists......



In Western science, an element is defined thus as per Webster's Third International Dictionary: 1 a : one of the simple substances air, water, fire, and earth of which according to early natural philosophers the physical universe was composed b : one of these substances in its natural form or occurrence; c (1) : one of the celestial spheres of ancient astronomy : one of the celestial bodies (2) : HEAVENS, SKY

Out of the pNch-mHaa-bhuut forms the living beings....each one of which is composed of:

  1.  a sharir (physical living body) plus
  2. indriyo (ten organs which sense everything in the universe) plus
  3. stv of which mns (loosely translated as mind) is a form and
  4. these 3 components of a living being are empowered to function as a living being by aatmaa (soul)...

This month at the 25th General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union  (click on the highlight to access its web site) astronomers working in the astronomy project called TWO=DEGREE GALAXY RED SHIFT SURVEY presented their calculations about the number of starts in the universe that can be observed and understood with the knowledge of the current astronomical science:   

"Dr Simon Driver, of the ANU Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics, using some of the most powerful telescopes in the world, concluded that about 70 thousand million million million stars (7 x 1022) shine down on us each night.

The researchers, who will present their finding to the General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union today, believe their estimate is ten times more accurate than any previous count.

This is not the total number of stars in the universe, but it's the number within range of our telescopes. The real number could be much, much larger still - some people think it is infinite....

Now compare the above to what veD = SCIENCES OF CREATION AND LIFE  says about stars and universes that exist...."INFINITE"....and SRiimD Daevi bhaagvtm which is counted as one of the puraaAN states that all the universes are in one thumb-nail of bhunessvrii who is female form of the original pRkruti formed of creator bRH`m....From this statement Dr. Driver is right in saying his estimate of 7sextrillion stars could be ultimately INFINITE..... Following is the news posting on the web site of International Astronomical Union

Star Count: ANU Astronomer Makes Best Yet

There are more stars in the sky than all the grains of sand on every beach and in every desert on earth, according to an Australian National University astronomer who has made the most accurate calculation of star numbers to date.

Dr Simon Driver, of the ANU Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics, using some of the most powerful telescopes in the world, concluded that about 70 thousand million million million stars (7 x 1022) shine down on us each night.

"Even for a professional astronomer used to dealing in monster numbers this is mind-boggling," Dr Driver says.

Most of these stars are too dim to see with the naked human eye, which can pick out only around 5,000 stars at the darkest parts of earth and just 100 in the middle of a big city, such as Sydney.

Dr Driver and his collaborators – Dr Jochen Liske, from the Royal Observatory Edinburgh; Dr Nicholas Cross, from Johns Hopkins University; Professor Warrick Couch, from the University of New South Wales and Dr David Lemon from St Andrews University – did not count the stars one by one.

Rather, Dr Driver and his team counted all the galaxies, which are large collections of stars, in one small region of the universe close to Earth.

By measuring precisely how bright each galaxy is they were able to estimate how many stars it contained and extrapolated this out to the whole region of the Universe visible through telescopes.

The researchers, who will present their finding to the General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union today, believe their estimate is ten times more accurate than any previous count.

"This is not the total number of stars in the universe, but it's the number within range of our telescopes. The real number could be much, much larger still - some people think it is infinite."

There have been other estimates of the number of stars over the years, but Dr Driver’s calculation is the closest so far because it combines the best counts of galaxies ever conducted with the most modern cosmological measurements of the geometry of our universe.

The observations were carried out using many of the world's most powerful telescopes, including the Anglo-Australian Telescope, located at the University’s Siding Spring Observatory, near the town of Coonabarabran. The calculations would not have been possible without the world's largest galaxy survey, the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey, which will be released at this meeting.

"Most of these stars probably have planets, a fraction of which probably have life," Dr Driver says.

"But they are very, very far away. It’s not so much a question of whether other life exists, but whether we will ever be able to contact them given the massive distances involved."
